We honor the memory and incredible legacy of Phil Green this year, who passed away on July 19, 2025. Phil attended school and played football at the University of Washington, and was a member of their undefeated, no. 1 ranked team (Coaches Poll) in 1991. He built a successful business career in developing technology solutions for brands such as Sony, HP and Home Depot. Phil was diagnosed with ALS in August of 2018. While fighting his own battle against ALS, Phil took on a role as one of the leading advocates in the country for all people with ALS. He was active with several ALS organizations, including I Am ALS, ALS TDI, Team Gleason, and Augie’s Quest, and was an inaugural member of the Lou Gehrig Day Committee that successfully lobbied MLB to establish an annual day to recognize Gehrig, and bring awareness and needed funding to the ALS cause. Phil’s incredible legacy includes the loving family he left behind, wife Jennifer and children Arianne, Hunter, Parker, and Whitney.

Rob and Marci Preston
Rob Preston attended Idaho State University where he was a First Team All-Big Sky Conference basketball player. After a brief stint in camp with the Houston Rockets of the NBA, Rob began a professional basketball career in Europe playing for teams in Belgium, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands. After the conclusion of his basketball career, Rob and his wife Marci made their full-time home in Bonney Lake, Washington (about 15 miles from Tacoma), where he began a second career in the automobile industry. They began their family there, which eventually grew to a full home with six children, Dylan (23), Mariah (20), Kayla (18), and triplets Grayson, Addison and Ainsley (13). The family moved to Surprise, Arizona three years ago, trading the Washington rainfall for Arizona sunshine and a new job in the automobile industry with CNA National for Rob. After only about a year in Arizona Rob was diagnosed with ALS. He continues his work with CNA, and Marci and he stay busy raising their family- did we mention 13-year old triplets?! The Preston family is excited to celebrate Dylan’s wedding this month.
Corey Reich
Corey Reich was diagnosed with ALS in July 2007 at the age of 21, but he had shown symptoms for several years prior. After his diagnosis, he returned to Middlebury College and graduated with honors in May 2008. Corey moved home to Piedmont, CA after his graduation and has been the Assistant Coach for the Piedmont High School Men's and Women's Varsity Tennis Teams ever since. Corey’s mother Wendy and sister Clare joined him as our guests. He and his family are committed to raising funds for the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI). Corey is a Young Faces of ALS Ambassador, and he was also recognized by the Giants at their third annual Lou Gehrig Day, serving as the team’s honorary captain. Corey’s father, Ted, joined the ALS TDI Board of Directors in April 2009 and he serves as the Treasurer and Audit Committee Chair. Corey’s sister, Clare, has worked for ALS TDI since graduating from college in 2011, including in the role of Director of Fundraising and Operations Systems. Corey’s mom, Wendy, is his primary caregiver. With the support of their family, friends, and community, the Corey Reich Fund has raised over $11.5 million for ALS TDI.

Liz & Chris Mavraedis and Brandon
Chris “Mavo” Mavraedis
Chris “Mavo” Mavraedis is a longtime Giants fan and season-ticket holder who moved across the street from AT&T (now Oracle) Park to be near the action. In 2009, Chris was diagnosed with ALS, which has robbed him of more function and autonomy each passing year. In the strangest descriptive irony, Chris, like Corey, is the “lucky among the extremely unlucky,“ having lived with ALS for 14 years (well beyond the average life expectancy of 2 to 5 years). Chris took to writing as a means of coping with ALS and the loss of his voice. Drawing on his lifetime love of the Giants and baseball, Chris authored his first book, Falling in Love With Baseball. Chris and his wife Liz will be on hand selling copies of the book (some signed by Bruce Bochy, who wrote a foreword for the book), and donating proceeds to Augie’s Quest to fund research.
Osiel Mendoza
Osiel was diagnosed with ALS in October 2016 at the age of 21. At the time, he was finishing college at the University of Oregon in his senior year, building a career in the sports industry and striving to accomplish goals and see dreams become reality. ALS interrupted his aspirations and changed life for Osiel over the nine years since he was diagnosed. He shares his story, not in search of pity, but to pursue a future without ALS by raising awareness and advocating for research. Osiel is a member of the Lou Gehrig Day Committee that successfully lobbied MLB to initiate Lou Gehrig Day, now an annual event raising ALS awareness and fundraising. He is an amazingly positive and selfless ALS warrior, and was honored by the Giants at their third annual Lou Gehrig Day on June 2, 2023.

Melissa Payne
Melissa is a former elementary school principal whose life changed when her husband, Jay, was diagnosed with ALS in 2007. He was a high school administrator, coach, devoted Chicago sports fan, and committed husband and father—Jay’s world revolved around his wife and two boys. He first sensed something was wrong when he could no longer play basketball as he once had; his calf muscle had nearly disappeared. Because ALS ran in his family, Jay knew what was happening and became the 22nd person in his family diagnosed with familial ALS. Until his passing in 2022, Jay lived with extraordinary purpose and a deep commitment to helping others. Inspired by the courage, grace, and intention he showed every day, Melissa carries his legacy forward through her work as Development Director at ALS TDI.
